Today I'm mixing up my love for sketches with my love for finding a great deal at Tuesday Morning. You know I love a good grid on my scrapbook pages so there was no way I could turn down this month's Paper Issues sketch!
AND you know I love color! Lots of color! The bolder and brighter the better! I mixed up Dear Lizzy's "Stay Colorful" and Shimelle's "Glitter Girl" collections from various Tuesday Morning hauls to document our cat Belle in her Halloween costume this year! Yup, the cat gets a Halloween costume. And, it would appear, that if I want to scrapbook Halloween in years to come, I'm going to have to scrap the cat as she's the only one who will (under duress) wear a costume!
I shifted the grid to the top left of the layout so that I could incorporate the digital cut file and instead of framing the cardstock the whole way around, it is book ended on the right and left. I originally had pink showing on the top and bottom but there weren't brush strokes there so it didn't look right. This way, the proportions of the grid rectangle more closely resemble those of the background paper and there is better symbiosis.
I haven't journaled yet, I do intend too. Sometimes, I just want to get the video up and published and there isn't enough daylight to mess around with the humming and hawing of journaling. That the speech bubble doesn't come from the direction of the cat doesn't bother me as the idea is there that these are her throughts. You can clearly see how utterly annoyed she is to be in this "thing". Worse yet to be subjected to a photo shoot with backdrop and prop! LOL!
More shash bash of Tuesday Morning goodies! The foam Thickers from Amy Tangerine! Purchased before the price increase. That pink is just a perfect compliment to the blue backdrop that Belle is on - an unironed sheet.... I really should have ironed it looking at the photos. Oh well....
That, my scrappy friends in another Tuesday Morning Stash Bash combined with a sketch to kick off this week! If you have anything you have picked up from Tuesday Morning in your stash that you don't know what to do with or something in my stash you would like to see me use, let me know! I'm always up for a challenge and love busting through the oldies but goodies!
Enjoy the process video should that be something you enjoy!
Thanks for stopping in today!
